Earth Tones is a soulful podcast rooted in four pillars: survival, passion, service, and love. Born from personal experience, spiritual devotion, and huge heart for humanity, this show explores the sacred intersections of faith, culture, healing, empowerment, and human connection.
Through raw storytelling, spiritual reflection, and conversations that matter, host Ella- a single mama, creative, solo traveler, and once, non profit founder- invites you into the journeying that shapes each of us. From her time working with refugees in Syria and Afghanistan to the quiet revelations that come through motherhood, each episode offers perspective, purpose, and permission to keep growing.
Whether you’re rebuilding, reimagining, or reaching for more- this space is for you. For the ones yearning for closer connections to each other or to God. Earth Tones is a return to what is real- a rhythm, a remembering, a quiet rebellion against a world that tells you to stay surface- level. Here, we go deeper.

Episode 9: The Heart & Mind of Service: Chess & Change in the Slums of Uganda- with Twikirize Ronald
In this conversation, we journey into the vibrant, messy, hopeful world of Uganda’s slums through the eyes of Twikirize Ronald. We talk about the intersection of chess and change, how culture is embedded in our identities without us even realizing it, and what it means to walk alongside communities with dignity. Ronald opens up about his founding of Galui Foundation, how he frames service with both heart and mind, and the systemic challenges he’s confronting daily.
You’ll hear stories that will stay with you: a child trekking miles, the contrast of dining tables vs. trench meals, the internal logic of poverty as identity, and the shift from pity to partnership in service. This is an invitation to feel, reflect, and act.
